Crystal Cruises’ newest Boutique Adventure includes a hands-on “Rhino Conservation Experience” in Africa. Offered with Crystal Serenity’s March 10 voyage from Singapore to Cape Town, the excursion makes guests a part of the local tracking and protection efforts that are fighting to keep the animal from extinction.

Crystal’s “Rhino Conservation Experience” is available only to guests also participating in Crystal’s mid-cruise, off-ship Overland Adventure to the Phinda Private Game Reserve. The Overland Adventure, which departs from Durban and returns to Port Elizabeth, has two nights of luxury accommodations and game drives in search of lions, elephants, buffalo and leopards. The line’s Boutique Adventure collection, first introduced in January, features shoreside experiences that are limited in participation and not available with any other cruise line.
